[Q] Focus Rev 1.3 Shows Samsung Logo and Turns Off, Please HELP!!

---

My At&t Focus Rev 1.3 is Stuck at the Samsung Logo. Will turn off after it vibrates the second time on powering on. *Cannot enter download mode or Reset the Phone.
*Edit, Now able to enter Download mode,
Tried to Flash the stock AT&T Tango Rom "Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA" Found elsewhere on the Forum, Was able to Flash it successfully, But to no Avail. Again Stuck at the Samsung Logo. After a few seconds it turns off again. if i try the reset mode, It just Freezes at the samsung logo after pressing the Windows key twice. Any Help Would Be greatly Appreciated. Thank all You Guys in Advance.

I'm just guessing that you had a custom rom in, just before this happened?

Nope. I really don't know what rom it was running, because ordered this off Ebay.
After it arrived it's just been doing the same thing.

*Update* Now my PC is just not Detecting the phone at all.

I wonder if your USB port is bad and maybe it's rebooting due to low battery?

Nope. USB Port is not bad. And Battery is Fully Charged.

Did you tried the goldcard method,
here is a link for the best and easiest way to do it

give it a try, I'm optimistic for possitive results
but don't forget to use samsung stuffs instead of htc

good luck

I have Samsung focus with a similar problem and have tried each and every thing to recover it but NO LUCK.

This is why I wondered about the USB port.

Same story, after many reboots i was able to boot into OS. Strangely, removing the battery and waiting for a couple of minnutes (maybe more) seems to do the trick. The phone boots up and you can really use it... until the next reset. Installing all the updates - to mango - was a pain in the posterior... and the phone works.. sort of.

I think that these phones are just faulty and if there is a way to return them - do it.
